"My labour experience"

About: Forth Valley Royal Hospital / Maternity unit

(as the patient),

Myself & my partner were cared for during labour by the most wonderful midwife Lauren and student midwife Amy. We cannot even begin to explain how positive my birth experience was despite being really anxious, both Lauren & Amy were amazing, they put us both at ease, listened to us, cared for us and just generally made the experience as positive as possible! 

They guided me through labour & birth, resulting in the birth of our beautiful baby boy Tommy, who arrived healthy and is now thriving! 

Lauren & Amy created such a calm & welcoming environment for me to give birth to our son and words can’t even begin to explain how grateful both myself & my partner are for Lauren & Amy’s outstanding care! I hope that if we ever have any more children, that you both can be part of our experience again - Thank you both from the bottom of our hearts xx
